Abstract :
A vowel-driven Mandarin speech autodialer based on the special characteristics of Mandarin digits is introduced. Additionally, an effective speaker adaptation technique based on the generalized probabilistic descent (GPD) algorithm is derived and integrated into the speech autodialer. Experimental results show that an encouraging performance is obtained.
